HS 1546 - Letter paper of St. Mary Magdalen, Taunton, Somerset, published by John Harwood, 26 Fenchurch Street, London, with plate number 510 on 28th November 1842

£35.00

Folded sheet of writing paper with ms text by Charles Jermingham: “I incline to think the tower of this church to be the most beautiful Gothic edifice ‘sui generis’ in the world: uniting height and lightness and symmetry, and taper delicacy. The tower of Malines Cathedral is more lofty & massive but lacks the wondrous elegance of St. Mary Magdalene’s. That of Boston perhaps rivals it, but appears to me more ponderous”.
